Chapter Ninety-Three: Retreat as Advance
With the help of the three wealthy clans, Wushuang City finally made a big turn on the verge of collapse and got back on track.
The dragon gate stopped running, and the visitors had no reason to stop, so they could only take large passenger ships and leave Chixia.
The problem of population explosion that has plagued Wushuang City for a long time has finally been solved, but for Tang Luo, it is still necessary to determine the location where the dragon gate will be opened.
This is not only for the college recruitment, but more importantly, to expand the influence of the Musou Academy.
But to make a big influence, it is not enough to rely on the small mountain city of Chixia today.
Closing the fist is to make a better attack, squatting is to accumulate strength for the jump, and now it is necessary to clear the visitors of the Peerless City and make room for the craftsmen to dig the mountain and build the city.
Therefore, in addition to teaching and studying normally every day, Tang Luo lay on the sand case in the entire territory of Longzhou, holding a small flag left and right to measure where to open the next Longmen Spiritual Examination.
From the perspective of influence, there are several choices, the best is naturally Kunwu County, as the most central and largest city-state in Longzhou, the wealth and strength of Kunwu County need not be repeated.
But the attitude of the arbitration institute is not very satisfactory, not to mention the identity of Tang Luo, the arbitration can be a large number of people, if there is a person who can see through his own disguise, then it will not only be bad for the influence of the Yuanzhou Xu family, but also affect his plans in a few years.
So even if Kunwu County was the best regional choice, Tang Luo was still ruthless to erase it.
But without this optimal option, the rest of the options are not particularly prominent.
Chaochang City, Dalin City, Yancang Mountain, Mutai City, Heqing City......
Counting over and over, there are only a few places in Longzhou that can accommodate Xihe's gaze, except for the Linchuan Plain, which is now shrouded by enchantments, and the rest are the major cities occupied by the Hao clan and the Shang Alliance.
There is no difference in security, after all, there is a Miaowei real person of the Xuanji Sect, unless the king has evil thoughts, otherwise the Dragon Gate is impregnable.
But is it necessary for the king to be like this, the Five Turns Dragon Gate is not the only thing in the world, since it is produced by the Xuanji Sect, these smart sect holy lands must have understood the process early.
I know that what Wushuang Academy is doing now is not only to test the spirit, but more importantly, to test the stability and accuracy of the "Dragon Gate" product.
When the test is completed, it is the sectarian holy land that will benefit in the end, so these forces are not moved by the news of the Dragon Gate at all, and the old god is sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai.
After all, only the Holy Land Sect can afford the raw materials for manufacturing the Dragon Gate, so what is there to rush for them.
This is also a major reason why Tang Luo chose the Xuanji Sect to develop the Dragon Gate, after all, there are no few things in the world and there are uneven things, with the size of the Peerless City, wanting to monopolize the Dragon Gate that has only one part in the world will only attract unbearable covetousness.
At that time, not to mention the Holy Land, even if the sect is in trouble, the Wushuang Academy will not be able to withstand it, but through the influence of the Xuanji Sect, the Wushuang Academy has avoided the head-on conflict with the Holy Land and the sect, and has won the development time that is specialized in the past, but this time is limited after all.
Not to mention that Da Yuanfeng is already developing the second-generation dragon gate, just to say why Miaowei Zhenren is willing to condescend to be a gatekeeper.
Is it because of the appreciation of the Dragon Gate and the Academy?
It is not to speed up the progress of the development and verification of the gantry, in other words, to shorten the time that the college can monopolize the gantry.
Therefore, Tang Luo was very urgent, and after determining the utility of the dragon gate, he made a non-stop return trip and put it into use.
At the moment, it is a huge loss for the academy to stall at the Dragon Gate due to the size of Chixia Mountain, and time should not pass in useless discussions.
"The second Dragon Gate Soul Test, let's put it here!"
After thinking about it, Tang Luo finally planted the order flag representing the Dragon Gate.
As soon as the three elders saw that Tang Luo had made a decision, they immediately surrounded the sand case, but after seeing the area finally selected, they were a little puzzled.
"Dalin City is remote, if the students who have passed the spiritual experience come to study, will it not be inconvenient?"
Du Ting pointed to the small flag planted on the edge of Dalin City, a little puzzled.
"Now the current situation in Longzhou, the Linchuan Plain is blocked by the enchantment, and the Chaochang two military disasters, Dalin has become the most important granary in Longzhou, and the influence of the business alliance is increasing day by day. In addition to Kunwu County, Dalin City is now the most dazzling center of Longzhou. ”
Tang Luo explained to the three of them, "Since you want to expand the influence of the academy, you have to choose the most influential place, and at the moment, Da Lin City is the first choice. ”
"The dean is far-sighted, it's just..."
Dewey had concerns and slurred.
"Elder Dewey is worried about the Great Lin Ye Clan and the Bounty Guild?"
Tang Luo asked with a smile.
"The wind media scattered outside received the news that the Dalin Dark Workshop had a dark flower, and the mission target was to target the Dragon Gate of this hospital. ”
Du Ling opened his mouth to explain: "They are worried that they don't have a chance to make a move, and if they place the Dragon Gate near Dalin City, I'm afraid there will be risks. ”
"Don't worry. ”
Tang Luo smiled and waved his hand, and then said to Du Ting: "In the name of this courtyard, I will repair the book to the head of the three clans, and I will say that the Longmen Spiritual Examination will be placed in Dalin City." In addition, the next day, I will send a message to the business alliance, saying that the college intends to restart the Longmen spiritual test in the business alliance, so let's do it. ”
......
August 15, 1792
Appropriate: crowning, bathing, traveling, building, groundbreaking
Don't: Marriage, opening the market, sacrifices, praying for blessings, fasting
The letterhead sent by Chixia Mountain to Dalin City was placed on the desk of the Chamber of Commerce of the Merchant League, which also plunged the Dalin Business Alliance into anxious discussions for several days.
For these businessmen, the Wushuang Academy is willing to reopen the Five Turns Dragon Gate in Dalin City, which is great news.
As an organization that contributed money and effort in the battle of Longzhou to fight the Tang Dynasty, these councilors and guild leaders have not slept well since the return of the Void Grandmaster King.
I have been worried that I will be retaliated against by that grandmaster after the retreat, after all, who can occupy a seat in the business alliance is not the spokesperson of a certain force.
Even if he is clean and upright, who can guarantee that his family and relatives will not be filthy, according to the Void Grandmaster, it is really a reason to make trouble, and there is no unjust, false and wrongful case.
Right now, Wushuang City is willing to open the Dragon Gate in Dalin City, and in the eyes of these people, it is a signal that the Void Grandmaster is willing to ignore his previous suspicions.
Therefore, the main discussion content of the Shang Alliance in the past few days is how to make several leaders of the Wushuang Academy feel the sincerity and enthusiasm of the Shang Alliance, as well as the respect for the Void Grandmaster.
The reason why it is the main content of the discussion is because there are also some different voices in the business alliance, such as Ye Qingcang, the main person in charge of the Bounty Guild.
This once the best merchant representative of Dalin City, after forming the Bounty Guild, went further and further down the road of the Gate Valve.
He actually said that he replied to the book and rejected the college's proposal to set up the dragon gate in Dalincheng.
As soon as this remark came out, it naturally caused a fierce backlash and even a warning from the Chamber of Commerce Alliance.
"This is an important step in repairing the relationship between the Shang Alliance and the Void Grandmaster, and whoever wants to get in the way of it is making enemies of the entire Shang Alliance, hoping to do it for themselves!"
"Speaker Ye, please warn the group of martial artists in the Bounty Guild, usually the secret fang does some stealing chickens and dogs to entrust the merchant alliance as not knowing, but if anyone makes a bad trip at this time, don't blame the old man for being ruthless!"
Ye Qingcang's speech was rejected under the constraints of the parliament, and the final resolution of the business alliance did not surprise him.
Merchants value profit and peace, and in the face of the possibility of repairing relations with the Void Grandmaster, how can they not be tempted.
But Ye Qingcang understands that these are all fake.
He is different from the three tribes of Nong, He, and Liu, and the other three tribes are in the battle of the Tang Dynasty, but they only surround the points to send reinforcements and beat the side drums.
The one who really reconciled in the middle and gave the Tang clan a fatal blow with money and efforts, except for the Evil King's Palace, was the Bounty Guild.
Now that the Evil King's Palace has been closed and the Void Grandmaster has been locked up, it seems that the vigorous battle against Tang seems to have ended, but Ye Qingcang knows in his heart that the aftermath of this matter is far from subsided.
The Peerless Academy is the Void Grandmaster's tricks, although Ye Qingcang doesn't know where the academy's killer weapon is at the moment, he just has a very strong feeling that this is coming at them.
But he mentioned this kind of thing to several other speakers in the business alliance, but with little success.
The short-sightedness of the businessman is vividly reflected in this matter, and today's advice in the council is Ye Qingcang's last attempt, but it has not aroused any resonance.
"Lack of erection and conspiracy!"
Ye Qingcang, who left the table angrily, was very angry, the wrench on his thumb was clenched tightly, and he rushed to the Bounty Guild with a gloomy face.
Now that the Shang Alliance has approved the request of the Wushuang Academy, it means that the Five Turns Dragon Gate will definitely be restarted in Dalin City, and this place will soon become Xihe's place of attention.
The so-called black market dark shop, after all, is a shady thing, the bounty guild is finally walking in the sun, if it does something dirty at this moment, it will be ruined.
Not only will the Ye clan suffer, but the entire Great Lin Business Alliance will become the target of public criticism.
Of course, as the most important granary in Longzhou today, these scattered cultivations and the resentment of the small family naturally don't have to be taken to heart.
But when the Void Grandmaster is out of the customs, when he is in trouble, who will stand on the side of the Great Lin Shang Alliance.
In order to prevent this most terrible thing from happening, Ye Qingcang had to intervene in the internal affairs of the Bounty Guild.
Preparing the horse to board the car, the patriarch of the Ye clan came directly to a dark workshop under the Dalin City, and went to the former underground hall under the guidance of the guide.
It is said to be an underground temple, but this place is already in ruins at this time, and the great war that broke out here a few days ago has caused heavy losses to the Bounty Guild.
The Lord of the Deepavali Palace single-handedly wanted to stop the several hunters who received the Dark Flower, and a big battle broke out between the two sides, and the Lord of the Deepavali Palace was outnumbered and seriously injured and captured.
And several hunting kings are also uncomfortable, except for Chi Donglai, the owner of the fierce tooth mansion who is injured and wandering away from the battlefield, the rest of the hunting kings are all injured.
Originally, Ye Qingcang was on the side of the Bounty Guild, after all, the contradiction between the Bounty Guild and the Void Grandmaster was almost irreconcilable, if he sat back and watched the Wushuang Academy cause a monstrous momentum with the Five Turns Dragon Gate, it was better to stop it as soon as possible.
But now that the situation has changed, letting this group of hunters continue is the real way to die.
"Lord Chi Mansion!"
Ye Qingcang found Chi Donglai and said lightly: "Let the Shentu Palace Master go." ”
"The president will speak, this old man will definitely give face, but not now. ”
Chi Donglai shook his head and said, "After completing the Dragon Gate destruction plan, I will let the wolf fang release Shen Tu." ”
"There is no plan for gantry sabotage. ”
Ye Qingcang shook his head and said coldly: "There's a letter from Chixia Mountain, saying that the place where Longmen restarts is in Dalin, so that the business alliance is ready to meet it." ”
Chi Donglai bared his teeth, and the fierce light in his eyes flowed, as if he didn't expect the Wushuang Academy to retreat like this.
But the short-term retreat was quickly dispelled, and his injuries could not be delayed any longer, and he was at the end of his rope.
"It came at the right time. ”
Chi Donglai said coldly: "I am worried about how to pass through the periphery of Wushuang City, since they have sent it to the door themselves, please also ask the president to arrange the venue, the old man will arrange it in advance, and he will definitely be able to succeed." ”
"Didn't the mansion master hear clearly!?"
Ye Qingcang's voice was even colder: "This time the dark flower, you can't take it, let alone have the Bounty Guild participate!"
"Is the guild leader going to meddle in the guild's mission?"
"It's not meddling, it's a request!"
Ye Qingcang sighed: "Knowing that the mansion master is burdened by injuries and illnesses, the Shang Alliance has already sent a messenger to invite the doctor of the Baicao Immortal Mansion, so why rush for a while?"
"Waiting for the Baicao Immortal Mansion to respond, the old man's body is cold!"
Chi Donglai said coldly: "This time the dark flower, the old man is determined to win, please go back!"
"Master Chi, please don't make it difficult for me. ”
Ye Qingcang's eyes narrowed, not letting the killer show up, playing with the wrench in his hand to adjust his breath, and said lightly: "The Shang Alliance has made up its mind, this matter is related to the interests of the entire Shang Alliance, and there can be no mistakes." ”
"What is there to fear from a group of short-sighted businessmen. ”
Chi Donglai snorted coldly: "If the president is excluded by these people and knows what to say, the old man will let the dragon tooth make a move tonight to ensure that these people will not dare to go against the president again." ”
Old fellow, pretending to be confused.
Just as the bastards judged, this kind of cautious and timid person, once his life is threatened, will ignore it and take risks.
Ye Qingcang squinted his eyes and looked at the demon path giant in front of him who he had first persuaded, and persuaded again: "The Fierce Tooth Mansion has finally been cleared through the battle of the Tang Dynasty, and the grievances have been eliminated. Now the disciples of the Mansion Master are also considered to be heads and faces in Dalin City, if they receive the Dark Flower, they will have to hide in the darkness again, and the Mansion Master will no longer consider it?"
"There's not much to think about. ”
Chi Donglai put his hands behind his back and said proudly: "The Fierce Tooth Mansion was established by the old man, so why do you need to discuss it with others." ”
"That's... It's a shame. ”
Ye Qingcang shook his head, and Chi Donglai was instantly locked by several murderous spirits.
"What do you mean, President!?"
Chi Donglai lowered his face with a fierce expression.
"That's what it means from above. ”
Ye Qingcang stretched out his finger and pointed to the sky, and said lightly: "The mansion master regrets it now, it's still too late." ”
"Repentance!?"
Chi Donglai laughed loudly, and threatened with a strong heart: "Hahaha, just a few stinky fish and rotten shrimp, isn't the president afraid that after the old man breaks out, he will do his best to turn Dalin City upside down!"
"Elite, the mansion master must be the Dragon Master, right?"
Ye Qingcang shook his head and sighed: "Since you have mentioned the name, please ask Master Long to come out and respond to the lord of the mansion in person." ”
In the darkness, the dragon teeth with a cold face walked out and said to Chi Donglai, who was full of anger: "Mansion Master, that kind of precarious day is over, and the disciple doesn't want to spend a day anymore." After you go, Xiaolong will take the Fierce Tooth Mansion and go down well!"
